J2Mobile is a new blog that was born on last Friday. I’ve made it for the students (and some of the teacher) of the Advanced Systems Object Group from Geneva University (were I’m student). It is not an official blog from Geneva University.
We will mostly talk about J2ME, the Mobile World and obviously from the projects of the group. We should normally be at least 6 writers so don’t forget to bookmark the Rss feed;)

book coverture I just finished reading this book (it’s already an old book from 2004), about the Next
Generation Wireless Applications
written by Paul Golding. It’s a very refreshing book that give a good review of what is now possible with mobile phone. The introduction chapter gives an example about how mobile phone could be use in a very near future.
There is no code in this book but a lot of ideas about mobile – wireless environment.

Just read it at the official blog, the wait to receive a Google Analytics account has been removed. So if you haven’t an account now I warmly suggest you to make one. It gives rich informations about your website in tree point of view : the marketer, the executive, the webmaster.
Check it here : Google Analytics.

I was a bit disappointed with FL, I tried to load a CSS but nothing happened. A few click later I knew that FL does not support CSS. What we can do is very basic, but there is still things to do with dynamic text. FL support some Html tags : p (with align), br, sbr, font (with face, color, and size attributes), b, and i.

I’ve just found a very nice information article about CC/CP from the university of California, Berkeley : Unified Data Model for Mobile Information Services
The goal is to provide a structured format to describe device capabilities and user preferences for the purpose of adapting contents to a device.
There is also a useful list of “Components and Attributes in UAProf”.

The UAProf specifications contain six components, hardware platform, software platform, network characteristics, browser user agent, WAP characteristics and push characteristics. The following lists the attributes in each component and brief descriptions of the attributes.

Check whole article, or only the Components and Attributes.
